Rooms were clean and well-organzied, if a bit smaller than we'd hoped. Staff were very helpful, and the location was excellent with the beach just across the street, and a bus station next to the hotel.

Good value for money
Really nice rooms and lovely pool and beach area particularly for the money. It is a bit of a haven for party go-ers however they all go off into town at 9-10pm. It would likely be loud here from June - August though as next door is Far Out beach club. Lovely stay in off season though

The staff members were very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed that the beach is close by and that we could use the sun-beds with no extra charge. On the downside the hotel for sure is not a 4*, the rooms are not very big and decorations are very old school.

The rooms were very basic which is to be expected for the price you are paying. However, the facilities and location were outstanding. You are right on the beach, the pool itself is also very nice and the music playing was a lovely touch. Breakfast was great, the staff were really nice, the food and drinks we ordered were also very good. The beach here had soft sparkly sand and the water was delightful. There is a bus stop right outside which will take you directly to the town. They offered a transfer to and from the port, it is chargeable but well worth the money if you are travelling in at night like we did. Our driver Stefan was awesome and made us laugh the whole way there. Wish we had stayed here longer, will definitely be back.

Proximity to the beach was great. Most staff were very hospitable. Apartment was very private. However, it was incredibly basic for somewhere rated 4 stars. And they don’t provide towels for the beach which is odd considering how close it is to the beach

This is a party hotel for a very young crowd. The location is good, but the constant loud music from the Far Out Beach Club was not my style. Rooms are small, but very clean. Bathroom is also tiny. Amenities are bare minimum- soap, shower gel, and shampoo. No beach towel is provided, but if you ask nicely, you can use your bath towel and they will give you a clean one to shower with. Loved that they replace the towels and sheets daily. Odd thing is that they asked you to leave your room key with the Front Deak when you left your room, which I never did. I think they ask you to do this as the people who stay here are generally very young and may lose their key when they go out. Free parking, but it is a small lot. Breakfast is ok- nothing fancy. Expect cold cuts, hard boiled eggs, bread, cereal, yogurt, and fruit. Definitely not a “four star” hotel. I think Expedia needs to review their standards to understand what a four star hotel actually is.

Far Out Vilage located in front of one of the best beaches of the Ios. Hotel facilities and services are ok. One thing that should be taken care is the furniture within the rooms that need a renovation

I liked the location the most. Right across the road from the beach, short bus ride straight into town, next door to the beach club. Hotel restaurant is also the highlight, food is so good, the paid food I mean. The room was good size for 3 girls and clean and decent, it’s a party place so noise was to be exected but not too loud... not a 5 star resort but good for party and young people. My main concern is always the cleanliness and it was clean, so couldn’t ask for more. I always get so scared after reading bad reviews but I would definitely stay again

Disappointed
This hotel looked great online when I was researching hotels on the island of Ios. It had good reviews and a 4.4 star rating. It was a completely different story when we arrived. The rooms were such a disappointment. The floors had food stains on them and the bathroom had the tiniest shower. The worst were the beds. They were so hard, it was like sleeping on rocks, not to mention the bed sheets, which were so scratchy, like sandpaper. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Far Out Village
The FarOut Village is located in front of Mylopotas beach. The bungalows are simple but clean and set in a shady garden. Each bungalow has a small terrace in front of it. Nice pool and pool bar with great food. Guests are mostly young people and there is a nice party atmosphere around the hotel.

Amazing as always at Far Out Village. Clean rooms, perfect location, basic breakfast included. Only improvements would be the pillows aren’t that great. The food at the restaurant is to die for. The best place to stay in Ios for partying and going to the beach

Lively, fun hotel very close to beach
Far out village hotel is next door to far out beach club where the camping is located. You have access to both pools, the hotel one being quieter than the beach club (which is good if you want to join the pool party!). Far out is across the road from the beach but around a 10 minute bus journey from the centre - these buses run every 15 minutes from outside the hotel until around 12am. Would definitely recommend for nice rooms and pool but not in the centre!

Decent hotel
Staff were helpful, great location if you are wanting to party. Bus service right in front of the hotel, room was somewhat spacious but the balcony was bigger in comparison. Cleanliness was ok, glad we stayed for 2 nights. I would recommend to friends if they have quads otherwise I would suggest to stay in town as it's more central to other clubs, bars, shopping and restaurants.

Fun place - would stay again.
Location was great - with a surprise pickup transfer from the ferry port. Very beginning of the season, so it was very quiet, which was nice. Beautiful beach directly across the street, amazing pool/poolbar area. Room was fine (beds not so comfy, but if you drink enough you'll sleep just fine). Fun night life either a short bus ride or taxi ride away. Don't forget to pack a beach towel.

Really enjoyed Far Out. Wouldn't recommend to older people in the high season but in September a good mix of age groups. Fabulous piece of Australia on the Greek islands lol.

Great stay except the WiFi didn't reach up into the rooms which was annoying, you had to go down to the resturant or pool to use.

great hotel, really fun!!
We had a great time at far out, the pool area and restaurant were great! The rooms were average at best but you don't stay at far out for the rooms! The resort has a great atmosphere, It's right on the beach, the food was excellent, with also a self serve restaurant if you wanted something quick. The pool parties were fun and the bus right outside the resort was only 10 mins to hora which was full of bars! Such a fun place to stay, loads of young people and would definitely recommend it.

Great party place for youngsters
Had an absolutely fabulous time staying at the farout village! Definitely the place to stay in ios, pool and sun chairs with less than a minute walk to the beach. Beach parties are daily at the far out beach club next door however the village has a more relaxed vibe. buses are available to take you into the town to party at night time and only a 20 minute walk. Perfect party place for young people, would definitely stay here again.

All good for what you pay. Remember, this place is not to sleep in luxury it's to enjoy the party. Would be good to ensure the AC works and that you can get the wifi in the room. They make great pizza, Nicko especially and they look after you.

GREAT LOCATION and ATMOSPHERE, rooms ehhh
This is a great place to stay to party and meet people. Milpotas Beach is one of my favorite beaches ever and it is right across the street from this hotel. The only complaint, but not a big deal for the typical person that would stay here is that the rooms are tiny and not that comfortable, but you get your own balcony which is nice. One night we had an issue returning to our room. You give your key to the front desk with you leave and pick it up on your return. They had misplaced our key and claimed we did not give it to them in the first place. Eventually they let us in to our room and a few minutes later called that they had found our key.
